The collapse in livestock prices this year led to one of my very rare forays into print, which the AFR headed with a cartoon see below. Luckily, we farmers tom cruise hair style are used to being laughed at. PETA, please don't flame me – we have stopped mulesing
"The recent contradictory media stories focusing on Australia becoming tom cruise hair style "the food bowl of Asia" on the one hand and the destruction of our northern cattle industry on the other ignore the major fundamental constraint on Australian agriculture.
That constraint, for what is primarily an export industry, is Australian costs after the farm gate. Pile a trolley full of food in a US supermarket and pay half at the checkout compared with the cost in Australia. Sell cattle from a farm or feedlot in the US and receive double the price received in Australia, although retail tom cruise hair style prices for red meat are about the same.
A classic case study on this issue is the effect on livestock tom cruise hair style producers of the recent almost complete shutdown of live sheep and cattle tom cruise hair style exports. This trade enabled producers to bypass the high costs of processing and distribution in Australia for at least a portion of their production and set a price level, but more importantly it provided an outlet for high turnoffs in times of drought.
The result has been queues at the abattoirs, a 40 per cent drop in lamb prices and cattle dying in the paddocks tom cruise hair style in northern tom cruise hair style Australia, if they are not in good enough condition to truck south. tom cruise hair style If drought continues, the short-term solution will no doubt be that applied 30 years ago – either let livestock die or shoot them humanely. I do remember us having to shoot 2000 sheep and it was not a happy experience.
Can we see some balance returning to this issue of occasional acts of cruelty to animals overseas, over which we can never have control, set against the bankrupting of the northern cattle industry and the more than halving of sheep numbers, which has already taken place?
